Mageia 2...KDE Desktop.

After inserting a USB flash drive, Device Notifier hangs - doesn't respond to any of the choices in the list (i.e. Open with File Manager).
Works perfectly on Mandriva 10.2. Anyone else having issues with this?

Update: After 3 minutes, the USB drive is recognized and Dolphin opens. However, Dolphin is totally unresponsive. Running 'top' in a terminal shows roughly 10% CPU usage by the usual processes. Dolphin is dead!

Please open up a terminal, unplug the stick, and as root issue the following command:

Code: Select all

tailf /var/log/messages

and then plugin that stick, and post all added output here.

While MOUNTING on Mageia, the console output of the 'tailf' hangs.....kernel errors show "No Caching mode page present"....

It seems that the failure is due to a 2nd encrypted partition on the usb drive causing Mageia to choke. Anyone have any ideas?

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

fdisk -l /dev/sdX

where sdX is the device of that usb drive.
Also please give some more informations about the encryption and the setup used there.

I also have a "device notifier" problem. I have not trouble shot it at all because I can open dolphin and do what I want.
What happens with me is that when I put a USB drive or my Kobo (through a USB connection) the device notifier detects it but when I select "open with file manager"
it try's to start a movie and then errors out.
I have been waiting for a update to fix it but after the last big one I still have the problem. Just letting you know of another problem.
If there is anything you want me to do let me know, real busy right now fishing my basement.

Please don't hijack threads, even when this one is dead since one year. Please open a new one.

Sorry will do.
